UNITED. STATES ERNEST'W. cnocxnn, or nuonnsnnl UTAH SMOKING TOBACCO PIPIP Application filed December 15,1931. Serial No. 581,221.;

The present invention has to do with a novel contribution to that class of inventions broadly classified as supplies and accesseries for smokers use, and it has more spe- '5' cific reference to an improved smoking tobacco pipe.

Though the idea is not broadly new, it has to do with a practicable discovery in a smoking pipe construction designed to pro- 10 vide a cool dry smoke unaccompanied by the presence in the smoke stream of tobacco juice moisture and other deleterious substances.

Stated otherwise, the inventive conception 15 comprehends a structural arrangement calculated to better serve the user by providing a more pleasant degree of enjoyment without subjecting the user to the risk of undesirable pathological results.

29 structurally stated the feature of construction is embodied in the stem construction and serves as an unique absorption device for nicotine juice, and the object is to provide a structure which may be easily and readily understood and adjusted and cleaned by the average pipe smoker.

A further purpose is to provide for eflicient cleaning of the pipe stem without requiring a separate tool for the purpose, to en- 33 able expeditious removal and replacement of the absorbent sleeve and to promote satisfactory and economical manufacture of the invention.

Other objects, features and advantages of the disclosure will become more readily apparent from the following description and.

drawing.

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the complete new style of pipe.

Figure 2 is a perspective ensemble view of the principal parts of the device.

In Figure 1 the numeral 3 designates the bowl which has a conventional cavity 4 con- 45- stituting a receptacle for the tobacco. Ex-

tending laterally from the bottom of the bowl is the relatively fixed section or member 5 of the stem and in practice this is formed with a bore 6 constituting a socket and bored as at 7 to provide a restricted communicating passage between the socket and the cavity. The outer end portion of the bore is internally screw threaded to accommodate a screw threaded nipple 8 'of'the removable section 9 of the stem. This part 9 is an ordinary mouth piece whose smoke passage 10 is screw threaded at one endto accommodate the screw threaded endportion 11 of the smoke conveyingtube 12. This tube is of noncorrosive material and provided with one or more longitudinal smoke by-passing slots 18. The intake end of the tube is flared and somewhat conical to provide a bell-like portion 14. The peripheral edge of this portion 14 is sharpened so that it has the additional function of a scraperso that by reciprocating the tube back and forth in the socketof the stem section 5 carbonized depositions may be scraped out. Mounted on the tube 12 is aicylindrical sleeve 15 of appropriate absorbent material and this is of alength greater than the slot 12 one'end being pressed firmly against the head 14 and the opposite end bearing against the screw threaded nipple8. This sleeve 15 is a s'nugsfitting element and susceptible of removal to facilitate renewal by replacement. 1 The gist of the invention'is in the provision of a pipe bowl having a 'socketed stem 5 in communication with the tobacco reception cavity 4 and constructed to accommodate detachable mouth piece 9, these parts 5' and Q bei-ng constructed to accommodate an insert in the form of an attachment comprising the parts. shown in Figure 2. The novelty here is predicated upon this combination and arrangement wherein the parts 12 and 15 have a double function. First the part 14 constitutes anjabutment to serve as a stop for-placement of the sleeve 15 and the edge of the part 14 constitutes a scraping annulus. In addition the part 15 constitutes an absorbing pad for surplus nicotine juice, the thought being that by absorbing said juices, harmful and irritating efi'ectsfrom an otherwise poisonous smoke stream are minimized. "By simply unscrewing the parts 9 from the companion part 5 the absorption device is removed therewith as a unit and by detaching the part 9 from Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. A tobacco smoking pipe comprising a substantially conventional bowl having a laterally directed stem section, said stem section being longitudinally bored to pro vide an elongated socket screw threaded at its outer end, and further bored to provide a restricted smoke passage aifordingcommunication between the cavity of the bowl and said socket, a mouth piece having a screw threaded nipple threaded into the screw threaded end of said socket, said mouth piece having a smoke passage, a tube connected to the mouth piece and in aline ment with said smoke passage, said tube be ing fitted in said socket and the end adjacent said bowl being provided with a flared bell like enlargement of a diameter slightly less than the diameter ofthe socket, said tube being formed with longitudinal slots, and a removable sleeve of absorbent material mounted on said tube; r

2. A tobacco smoking pipe comprising a substantially conventional bowl having a laterally directed stem section, said stem sec tion being longitudinally bored to provide an elongated socket screw threaded at its threaded nipple threaded into the screw threaded end of said socket, said mouth piece having a smoke passage, a tube connected to the mouth piece and in alinement with said smoke passage, said tube being-fitted in said socket and the end adjacent said bowl being provided with a flared bell like enlargement of a diameter slightly less than the diameter of the socket, said tube being formed with longitudinal slots, and a removable sleeve of absorbent material mounted on said tube, the edge portion of said bell like'enlargement relatively thin to function as a scraping element in the manner described. i

3. As a new product of manufacture, a pipe accessory for use in association with the pipe stem of the class described comprising an elongated noncorrosive tube screw threaded at one end having longitudinal slots formed in its intermediate portion hav- ERNEST W. GROOKER.
